Sarah Palin was one of the first, and the most resounding, to warn us of the coming of government panels to decide which of us – especially, but not exclusively, toward the end of life – would cost too much to survive.
She was mocked, scorned from sea to shining sea, including by the eminent Paul Krugman for being, he said, among those spreading “the death panel lie” as part of “the lunatic fringe.” (Summarized in “Krugman Wants ‘Death Panels’” Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, Nov. 15).

“Some years down the pike,” he said, “we’re going to get the real solution, which is going to be a combination of death panels and sales taxes.” That would mean the U.S. Debt Reduction Commission “should have endorsed the panel that was part of the (Obama) health-care reform.”
“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.”
